Switching
Regulator
Efficiency up to 94%, no need for heatsinks
Pin compatible with LM78XX linears
Low profile (L/W/H=11.5 x 7.55 x 10.2mm)
Wide input range
Short circuit protection, thermal shutdown
Low ripple and noise
IEC/EN60950-1 certified
R-78-1.0
Description
The R-78xx-1.0 series switching regulators are ideally suited to replace 1 Amp 78xx linear regulators
and are pin compatible. Efficiencies of up to 94% mean that very little energy is wasted as heat so there
is no need for any heat sinks with their additional space and mounting costs.

Add a blocking diode to Vout if
current can flow backwards into
the output, as this can damage the
converter when it is powered down.
The diode can either be fitted
across the device if the source is
low impedance or fitted in series
with the output (recommended).
